Officials in Rockport, Texas were worried about the destruction Harvey could bring and asked the residents who refused to evacuate to write their social security numbers on their arms. This would make identifying bodies easier in the event of a search and rescue. 400 people have been sent by the U.S.Department of Transportation to aid in evacuation efforts. 250 roads statewide were closed off.
